J.R. can opt out of his contract—something he'll
almost assuredly do in spite of his poor postseason—but that doesn't mean he'll
sign elsewhere. The Knicks have his "Early Bird" rights, meaning they can offer
him a four-year deal beginning at $5 million, according to Berman.

Early indications are that both Smith brothers
could be at Knicks training camp next season, even if the younger Smith doesn't
make the team to start the year.
